NYC Schools Pilot AI Teaching Assistants To Improve Reading

New York City public schools this year piloted AI teaching assistants in Bronx and Brooklyn middle schools to improve reading comprehension and writing skills. Early results show students using AI at least twice weekly grew on the 2025 New York State reading assessments nearly twice as fast as peers, and teachers used live dashboards to integrate AI feedback with classroom instruction.
Key Points

- 2Early results show nearly double growth on 2025 state reading scores for frequent AI users
- 3Teachers use dashboards and guided pedagogy; success depends on integration with classroom instruction
Scoring Rationale
